Here's a little something from "left field" and is big part of our current Sony Alpha history. Sony acquired Konica/Minolta in 2006. Prior to that, the Minolta A9, Dynax 9, Maxxum 9 was Minolta's flagship, professional SLR. Some even regard it as one of the best SLRs ever built! Sony retained the "A" moniker for the name of the mount, calling it "Alpha." Until the modern Sony ILCA-A99MK2 (A99ll) and the Sony SLT A99V, and given that all the Legacy Minolta A-mount lens still fit and produce excellent results on Sony A-mount cameras, it can easily be said that the A-mount is the mother to the modern day Sony cameras and lenses.

Looks great. There's a small group of people who still shoot the Dynax/Alpha 9. There even used to be an SSM upgrade available. So, some People shoot film with the New Sony SSM lenses. It looks great.

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By bs.shoots · Posted

      I recently got an a7cii and to pair with the compact body, I thought of getting 2 of the trio compact lenses, 24mm F2.8 and 40mm F4.0. (I already have a 70-200mm) However I stumbled upon the newly released 24-50mm F2.8 G. I'm not sure which to get - I like the small factor of the prime lenses ON the body because it's discreet and helps me blend in as an average tourist / doesn't make it obvious when doing street. But if I add the dimensions of the 2 primes together, it takes up more space in the bag than the zoom lens. BUT THEN, the weight of the 2 prime lenses is 110g lesser than the zoom lens. The zoom lens has the added benefit of being more versatile.   So now I'm stumped. Each has their pros and cons and I can't decide which to get. I'd like to hear the views of you guys who are more experts at this.   Edit: I'm a bit concerned about weight because the last time I went overseas my shoulders were aching from carrying too much. Which is why I was looking for small compact primes in the first place.

      Sony a6300 after shutter repair

      By dev001 · Posted

      Hi, I have got a6300 which shutter stopped working. I managed to change shutter but unfortunatelly broke shutter motor tape but I fixed that. After repair the shutter is working but not in a proper way, watch with sound. I bought the second shutter and tried to test it before dissaembling again and it doesn't react to magnet but it works fine when I apply 3V. Are there different type of shutter for a6000 - a6400? Back to the question what is wrong with my shutter after first repair? I don't want to put next shutter unfoundedly. Do your sony cameras perform such a self-check after start up?  IMG_5579 (1).webm
